A neural network that simulates the way moths recognize odors also shows how they learn so much faster than machines.

Why even a moth’s brain is smarter than an AI | MIT Technology Review Skip to Content One of the curious features of the deep neural networks behind machine learning is that they are surprisingly different from the neural networks in biological systems. While there are similarities, some critical machine-learning mechanisms have no analogue in the natural world, where learning seems to occur in a different way. These differences probably account for why machine-learning systems lag so far behind natural ones in some aspects of performance. Insects, for example, can recognize odors after just a
